LLDP tagging

LLDP IP Address mode

Network Administrators require full control and flexibility over the IP address formats that are sent in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) payload.

The LLDP IP address mode setting allows administrators to support IPv4-only, IPv6-only, or both IPv4 and IPv6 environments. This setting allows IPv4, or IPv6, or both the addresses as the management IP address to be communicated through the LLDP payload on uplinks, downlinks, stacking link, and s-channels.

LLDP tagging

LLDP tagging, when enabled, uses the management IP address of the lowest numbered Ethernet bay location in the logical interconnect. This IP address is transmitted in tagged LLDP frames on the downlink ports and untagged frames on the uplinks and stacking link ports.

LLDP tagging is available for the following interconnects:

Enable

Based on the LLDP IP address mode, HPE OneView obtains the IP address of the HPE Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module for HPE Synergy and the HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for HPE Synergy in the lowest number bay location in the logical interconnect and advertises this address as the management address TLV for all the Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Modules for Synergy and for all the HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Modules for HPE Synergy respectively in the logical interconnect.

Disable

By default, each Virtual Connect interconnect advertises its master interconnect IP address as the LLDP management address TLV.

Default value:

Disabled
